Travelling can be done in all kinds of ways. While some prefer to go for a pragmatic approach, others deliberately opt for a luxurious kind of travel. To do so, you have a long list of options to choose from. Luxurious hotels, first class flights… and of course luxury luggage. Because even though the practical side of your suitcase is of quite a bit of importance, the looks can be just as critical. So if you’ve got some money to spend on your travel gear, here are 8 luxury suitcases to fulfill all your exuberant needs.
1. Louis Vuitton Horizon 55 – €2,800
As far as luxury suitcases go, Louis Vuitton has quite the history. Even though their trunks are still being sold today, they might not be the most practical option – unless you’ve got someone who will carry them on your behalf. The Horizon 55, however, is much more suited for the modern traveller. And completely customisable.
2. RIMOWA Essential Cabin – €750
If monogrammed travel gear isn’t really to your taste, RIMOWA offers a more minimalistic and potentially more pragmatic option. Their light-weight suitcases are surprisingly sturdy and won’t leave you hanging with a broken wheel at the airport.
3. TUMI 19 Degree Titanium – €3,500
If you want to make sure your suitcase is as sturdy and as luxurious as possible, the TUMI 19 Degree Titanium might be your best bet. Even though it will still get a few bumps with time, this luggage will likely see you through a lifetime of voyages.
4. DiorTravel Medium – €3,900
If you like your suitcase to be just as fancy and good-looking as your other bags, you won’t find something much better than the DiorTravel. Monogrammed and made out of a hard-wearing jacquard fabric, this is a suitcase you’ll want to display in your home even when you’re not leaving the next day.
5. Longchamp Boxford M – €320
Longchamp might be best-known for its foldable shoulder bags, but their suitcases are worth your while too. Made out of the very same polyester fabric with leather details, this luggage isn’t just fashionable – compared to many other luxury brands, their price point is rather attractive.
6. Gucci Savoy Medium Trolley – €2,800
Back to more expensive options, because after all, we’re talking luxury, when looking at Gucci’s Savoy trolley, one can’t be in doubt about the brand. The monogrammed backdrop, the red and green colour way of the belt, the sparkling golden monogram on the front… A suitcase that won’t go unnoticed, that much is certain.
7. Prada Saffiano leather trolley – €4,300
If you’re someone who enjoys a bit of quaint luxury, this Prada suitcase will be right up your alley. Only the very observant passer-by will notice the brand, while the rest of the world might simply enjoy the sobriety of your luggage, which isn’t a given.
8. LOEWE Puzzle Fold Large Convertible Leather Holdall – €2,800
Lastly, a weekend bag, which you could just as well use to go into work on a busy day. A timeless piece, which will be recognised by true fashion fans and which will be ideal for a short stay, unless you’re very minimalistic when it comes to packing.
